How HVAC Leak Water Damage Works in Gerlaw

Standing pan water may carry dirt into porous finishes. The crew assesses water condition before deciding what material can remain.

1. Extract the escaped water

   An attic overflow may drip into a room below. The crew captures surface water before evaluating the ceiling material.

2. Map the wet boundary

   Floor seams and baseboards can conceal an AC overflow path. Moisture mapping shows where the liquid traveled.

3. Remove material that holds water

   A damp carpet pad may need to come out before the subfloor can dry. The technician evaluates contamination and saturation.

4. Dry and verify materials

   After extraction, controlled air movement removes remaining moisture. The crew checks the building before finish work starts.

When cooling resumes after months off, an attic pan may overflow. A ceiling below it deserves a safe wet area assessment. Owner and renter responsibilities differ by property. The crew records the affected materials, while coverage questions go to each insurer.
